TRENČÍN — Dima Zhilkin had three goals and an assist to power Canada past Norway 8-0 on Saturday at the world under-18 men’s hockey tournament.

Gavin Betts stopped 12 shots for the shutout, Canada’s second in as many games. The Canadians downed Latvia 6-0 on Thursday.

Tynan Lawrence had a goal and two assists for Canada while Jaxon Jacobson scored twice. Beckett Hamilton and Zach Olsen rounded out the scoring.

The Canadians outshot Norway 66-12.

“I thought it was a complete game in the sense that we did not have any passengers tonight,” said Canadian team head coach Drew Bannister. “These games can be difficult to play in, but I do not think we deviated from our game plan and how we wanted to play.
